Modding a Grand Theft Auto game alaways has some custom vehicles at some point. You know, to replace your boring default Kurumas, Coquettes, and Habaneros.

Despite being released over a decade ago in 2008, GTA4 is still a widely appreciated game with a massive playerbase worldwide.

The modding community hasn’t abandoned it either, so it continues to get new custom cars from time to time.

If you’re on the market for new wheels to improve your GTA IV experience, take a look at these amazing custom cars gathered from all across the web.

And before we get down to business, I recommend you get the EPM mod, as most of these custom cars simply won’t run without it.

25. BTTF Delorean

Bringing state-of-the-art cars to GTA IV when GTA5 has been out for almost a decade gives a certain time-travely feeling that I can’t shake off.

To honor this unusual situation, we’re starting the ranking with a Delorean from Back to the Future.

This one’s converted from a previous GTA: Vice City mod by creator Dragon King.

The only major drawback to installing this car is that it doesn’t actually travel through time.

Maybe there’s a GTA5 mod that does?

24. Buggy Fireball

Buggy-type vehicles have been among my favorites ever since I saw one at the beach for the first time.

There’s something about feeling the wind on your face and the hyper-practical design of these cars that get my blood pumping.

Now Claude can enjoy the same refreshing experience thanks to the Buggy Fireball mod by TheCrosswave. It features a bad-ass exposed engine and very well-done dirt mapping – a must for this off-road beast.

Just be ready to roll downhill a lot if you’re planning to leave the asphalt and explore Liberty City’s frontiers.

23. Standard Machines

This next entry is a bit weird, but I’m sure many of you will find it pretty useful.

Standard Machines isn’t really a mod. But rather a pack containing every one of the original vanilla vehicles, for those times when you forget to back up your game before modding.

Believe me, it happens more often than you think.

It also includes the original Handling.dat and Vehicles.ide files, so there’s no need to re-install the game just because you broke the vehicle system.

22. Lada 2109

Whenever you’re scouring the web for GTA mods, especially the older ones, you’re bound to run into many Russian users and modders.

In a way, we owe them respect for keeping the GTA modding scene alive.

To honor our Russian brothers and sisters, I’ve decided to include the most Russian car I could find.

The Lada brand and its cost-efficient cars are a monument to Russian practicality. They can be seen all over Eastern Europe, especially in post-soviet countries.

The Lada 2109 replaces the vanilla Blista car, so you’ll see it all over Liberty City as well.

21. Speedometer IV

You can use any trainer to give yourself a simple speedometer in GTA IV.

Still, considering how much effort we’re putting into updating our cars, there’s no reason to skip over a custom speedometer.

Creator Oinkoink offers us this nifty mod, featuring several different speedometer designs. It includes luxurious ones, minimalist ones, and a couple that are just plain weird.

Their placement is unintrusive, and after a while, you’ll feel as if it were always there.

And truth be told, there’s nothing quite like watching the needle on these things fight its way up as you go pedal to the metal in the streets of Liberty City.

Just keep an eye on the road, too.

20. Nissan Skyline R34

The Nissan Skyline R34 was one of the first cars to bring the performance “tuning” culture from Japan to the Western world.

And its appearance in games like Need for Speed, or films like 2 Fast 2 Furious: Tokyo Drift, definitely helped draw mainstream attention.

This deceptively powerful vehicle is designed to replace the Hakumai.

Its unassuming design looks perfect on the streets of Liberty City, helping you achieve an immersive upgrade of the city’s vehicles.

Among this mod’s best features are the damageable parts, and the fact that you don’t need a high-end gaming rig to handle it (unlike some of our more hardcore entries).

19. Hummer H2

Back when GTA IV first came out, the Hummer H2 was notorious as a luxurious vehicle people would use to flaunt their money around.

Luckily, it’ll cost you precisely zero dollars to get it as a mod for GTA IV.

This model was converted from Full Drive 2 by creator Stiopa, bringing the H2’s authoritative aura to Liberty City.

The helpless NPCs you’re running over will finally know why you do it: because you’re the boss.

While I’d advise keeping it yellow for authenticity’s sake, it’ll also look incredible in sober colors like black or white.

18. Audi RS5 V1 R3

One of the best cars you can get to make Liberty City traffic more interesting is this solid but not over-the-top Audi RS5.

Sure, it isn’t the best car for San Andreas’ biggest badass when there are things like supercars and armored vehicles.

But still, even NPCs need to get around!

Plus you won’t have to pilot a bad car whenever you steal a random one from the streets.

Modder Ghost outfitted this car with custom working lights, and all parts of the vehicle will get realistic damage when appropriate.

Of course, the handling is custom-made as well.

17. GTAV Heists Armored Kuruma

GTA5’s Kuruma is among my favorite vanilla vehicles of any GTA game.

And this Armored version is just too cool to be true.

But don’t be fooled by its good looks. This modded armored machine is 100% functional and will protect you from anything that doesn’t find its way through the peepholes you’re supposed to see through.

It looks terrific in the default sober gray/black color.

Still, this mod provides a high degree of customization – from colors to the type of spoiler on the trunk.

16. The Essential Car Pack

Most of the best San Andreas car mods feature hi-poly models that most low-end PCs won’t handle, despite the game’s relatively basic engine.

A great option if you’re playing on a humbler computer is the Essential Car Pack by creator Jotov24.

The vehicles in this mod were hand-picked by Jotov24 to provide the highest quality possible, without sacrificing performance.

They may not have 100,000 polygons, but they still look incredible.

The variety is nothing to scoff at, either.

If you liked this and you think the ol’ rig can still take some more, then consider The Extended and The Evolved car packs, the slightly more resource-demanding sequels to this mod.

15. Liberty F1 2010

Formula 1 has been one of the most exciting sports to watch for decades.

Now you can take part in it without leaving the comfort of Liberty City.

This Liberty F1 2010 mod by BryanLex brings 24 different cars from the 2010 season to your game, all with distinct handling, acceleration, and max speed.

All the models are intricately detailed, feature working lights, and closely resemble their real-life counterparts.

14. 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Synergy Edition

I’ve always liked the Camaro because it manages to look fresh and powerful, while remaining appropriate for urban use.

I mean, why would you drive a Bugatti Veyron through NYC?

Modders Alex189 and KaLaC bring us this bright green Synergy Edition Camaro, which merges the modern Camaro look we’ve come to love, with a first-generation Camaro design.

You could easily recolor this beast, but the real Camaro Synergy Edition is precisely this shade of green.

So I’d suggest leaving it like that for authenticity’s sake.

13. NYC Mega Car Pack

If you want high-quality vehicles that look natural in an urban setting like Liberty City, you need to try the NYC Mega Car Pack.

This massive compilation of HQ vehicles is meant to make Liberty City look like 2010’s NYC.

It replaces most vanilla cars with what you’d have seen on the streets back then.

There are Golf Cars for leisurely days, Harley Davidson Fatboy bikes for the bad boys, and there’s even a Mazda 3 so you can re-live the days of stealing your mother’s car.

Among my favorite additions have to be the new law enforcement cars, including a Ford Crown Victoria for the FBI.

12. BMW M8 Competition

The BMW M8 Competition was designed as a sturdy and powerful car that provides the smoothest possible driving experience, even at breakneck speeds.

This elegant and aerodynamic model was ripped from CSR2 and converted to San Andreas by Milcin7, who went as far as to give it working lights and custom handling.

The perfectly-placed blue highlights on a pearl-white body do wonders to give this car an almost ethereal look.

But you can also change them to whatever you want.

11. Pagani Zonda R

We all know what a supercar is.

But most people can barely tell their Lamborghinis from their Ferraris, and they probably think they’re the only supercar manufacturers worth their salt.

Nothing further from the truth, as we see in this astonishingly attractive machine from the Modenese atelier Pagani.

The Pagani Zonda R is a luxurious supercar with a unique design that favors natural-looking curves over straight lines.

This is partly due to aesthetics, and partly for aerodynamic reasons.

The result is a stylish car unlike any other cruisn’ the streets of Liberty City. And thanks to modder NatT96Report, you can try it out yourself.

10. Ultimate HD Car Pack 2012

The following car pack was made by one of those Russian users who are just as serious about cars as they are about their favorite games like GTA4.

It features almost 200 HQ vehicles that’ll make the traffic in Liberty City look almost out-of-place without a slight graphical improvement for the surrounding urban sprawl.

All of them feature custom handling and working lights, along with damageable parts.

It’s one of the best options if your objective is to have the best-looking hyper-modded GTA IV playthrough.

9. Lamborghini Aventador TRON Edition

It’s often the case that, like putting 2 + 2 together, two really cool things can combine to reach a new level of awesomeness.

That’s the case with ExtremeModder191’s Lamborghini Aventador TRON Edition mod, which features enticing neon highlights over a dark body of this Italian mid-engine supercar.

TRON-themed Lambos and other supercars are nothing out of the ordinary. A quick google search will show a lot.

Still, few are as accomplished as this digital devil – and none are quite as easy to get.

8. Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo

The Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Super Trofeo was a special race-oriented edition with an even more aerodynamic model, improved brake cooling, and ten positions for the rear wing.

This model for GTA IV doesn’t actually feature a ten-position rear wing.

But it looks just as breathtaking as its real counterpart.

It features all the details a custom car needs – including custom handling, realistic damage, working doors, and functional lights.

This model was copied from Need for Speed: Rivals by creator Big Bear, and just like in that game, it will look amazing in almost any color.

7. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 SS

You can’t make a “best cars” list of any kind without mentioning the Bugatti Veyron.

There are hundreds of mods online offering to add this top-tier supercar of the 2010s to the streets of Liberty City.

Still, few offer the level of detail and polygon count as this model from Forza Motorsport 4 – ported to GTA IV by modder Alex189.

The default design with a black carbon fiber body and red highlights is especially representative of the 16.4 Super Sport, but you can recolor as needed to fit your tastes.

6. Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Body Kit Final Stock

If you’re anything like me, you grew up playing the hell out of Need for Speed.

For most people, that creates a bit of an obsession with aftermarket parts and car tuning – which is why I’m including this Body Kit Final Stock version of the Bugatti Veyron 16.4, an incredible mod with a lot of detail.

Other than the modified skirts and front bumper, this model has a unique coloring scheme that’ll let you experiment much more than our previous entry.

A white body with red highlights is ideal for the flamboyant gangster.

The original model was ported from NFS: Shift 2 to GTA IV by modder Imtaj, who also gave the vehicle custom handling, realistic damage, and fully working lights/doors.

5. Realistic Driving and Flying

Here’s something you’ll want to get even if none of our custom car mods have convinced you: Killatomate’s Realistic Driving and Flying mod for GTA IV.

Killatomate went one-by-one through all of the 170 default vehicles in the game, and tweaked their handling for a much more realistic and just plain fun experience.

There’s no reason to play without this mod – ever.

4. Realistic Car Pack V4

If what you’re looking for is lifelike adherence to reality, then the Realistic Car Pack by Ogiogi93 will give you a hand in the motor department.

It replaces 95 vanilla cars and adds an entirely new 23 vehicles, replacing the generic Rockstar-brand automobiles with ones bearing their real insignias.

There’s even a FedEx truck in there, along with the most realistic-looking ambulances I’ve seen so far.

3. Lamborghini Aventador 50th Anniversary

If you haven’t realized yet, I love Lamborghini supercars. And the Aventador is easily among my favorites thanks to its delicate-looking design.

This convertible 50th Anniversary edition is the one I’d like to drive around town myself, if I could. Feeling the wind on my face and enjoying the passerby population’s envious looks… I guess GTA4 is just as good, yeah?

This Aventador is set to replace the Infernus.

And as most of our entries, this mod features working lights, doors, and everything you’d expect from a high-end custom vehicle.

2. Ultimate Vehicle Pack v11

As I’ve written before, I value packs that save modding time and let us get back to gaming.

In the case of cars for GTA IV, I can’t find a better recommendation than the eleventh edition of Taltigolt’s Ultimate Vehicle Pack.

While you take care of installing supercars yourself, this will replace regular cars in Liberty City with the highest-quality custom equivalent available.

This helps give the city a splash of realism, since not everyone in LC can afford a Bugatti or a Lambo.

If all that doesn’t convince you, then try this out just for the fully-functional military jet.

1. Lamborghini Huracán Liberty Walk

Liberty Walk is one of the most recognizable and respected names in the commercial car tuning industry. And their involvement is about the only way to improve the absolute masterpiece that is the Lamborghini Huracán.

Its name means “hurricane” in Spanish, and that’s exactly what it’d feel like to have the Gallardo’s successor drive by you at high speeds.

Thanks to Team Extreme, who ported this from CSR2, you can choose to be the one doing the driving – at least within Liberty City.

Despite GTA5’s massive popularity, many of us still like to boot up the old Grand Theft Auto IV to take a walk around as Niko Bellic.

Sure, the game has been out for over a decade.

But the genius and Rockstar put into the game still shines bright – especially when assisted by a few of mods.

Whether you want to add more weapons, new cars, or completely overhaul the game, mods have you covered.

Flying in a jetpack is also a possibility, and wait until you hear about the shark gun.

Sorting through hundreds of mods online can get tedius. Luckily it’s my task to organize the best-of-the-best to help you save time — and I take my job very seriously.

30. Zombie Apocalypse

You can’t write a “best mods” ranking without including at least one zombie-related mod.

Especially when it comes to one of Rockstar’s open-world sandbox masterpieces.

This simply-titled mod by creator Jc0001 does just what you’d expect.

Everyone is a zombie now, and it’s up to Niko Bellic to end the undead threat by putting as many zombies out of commission as he can.

It’s the ideal mod to get whenever you want to try out new weapons, or to just mindlessly murder empty husks into the wee hours of the morning.

29. Beta Mod

There have been many leaks regarding old Nintendo games.

And it got me thinking about the hours of cut content hidden deep within games like GTA IV.

This Beta Mod by SlayerMaggot scratches my game-archaeologist itch by reinstating a lot of removed content present within GTA IV’s code.

This includes new taxis, new weapon icons, alternative versions of cars like the Esperanto and the Faustin, and even an older Niko Bellic skin.

A lot of it had to be rebuilt and even completed by modders.

But it’s still amazing to see just how much work developers put into stuff that never sees the light of day.

Well, I guess now it’s here for us to have our fun, but yeah.

28. Shark-o-Matic Gun

Saints Row has always been GTA’s main competition, giving the open-world urban sandbox a lot more wackiness and absurdity.

The Shark-o-Matic Gun mod by JulioNIB lets you bring some of that humorous craziness into Liberty City, the JAWS way.

This gun will make a shark bust through the asphalt and eat whoever you shoot it at… leaving nothing but the crater behind.

For some reason, it looks twice as funny in GTA IV than it did in Saints Row: The Third.

27. Bicycle Script

On their race to make release dates, developers often neglect to include minor gameplay elements, or minute details like dynamic bicycle animations.

Considering they were present in GTA: San Andreas, it was pretty jarring for some fans not to have them in GTA IV.

Thanks to modder JulioNIB and his Bicycle script, driving a bicycle in GTA IV feels just like it did in San Andreas.

You can even do the silly bicycle start-up animation!

Handling may sometimes feel weird.

But this is a must for people who grew used to San Andreas’ bicycle gameplay.

26. Jetpack Mod

What’s something simple like a bicycle, compared to a Jetpack?

A functional jetpack mod is simply a must for any open-world game.

This one is inspired by the fantastic movie Kick-Ass, so it features two handy miniguns you can use to rain down lead from the skies upon your enemies.

You’ll also be able to spawn bodyguards or enemies wearing jetpacks for intense augmented shootouts.

These may also happen naturally if you ever go against a SWAT team at high Wanted levels.

To unlock it, you’ll have to do the Kill Frenzy at the Airport first. But that shouldn’t be too hard.

25. Liberty City Customs Autobody Shop

Among the fantastic additions GTA5 made to the Grand Theft Auto formula, the car customization options hold a special place.

Thanks to modder NatT96Report, this functionality comes to GTA IV.

After installing this mod you’ll find the Liberty City Customs Autobody Shop near the center of the map.

There, you’ll be able to apply some essential modifications to most of the vanilla vehicles.

It’s nothing fancy. But even a basic improvement like this can make the game feel much more engaging.

24. Simple Trainer

Something that can’t be missing from a mod user’s roster is a competent trainer that’ll let them bend the game’s rules, like a developer would during testing.

Made by Sjaak327, this Simple Trainer offers all the basics you’d expect from such a tool.

Teleportation, object spawning, a very simple speedometer, and the ability to spawn vehicles, all just some of its features.

If you’re going to be trying out mods and custom content like cars and weapons, having this will make your life much easier.

23. Snow Mod

New York City looks its best during the winter, when snow sweeps in and provides a pure white blanket to contrast with the city’s dusty ceilings and sidewalks.

Modder Jumbo0 brings us the Snow Mod to reproduce this magical effect in GTA IV, turning the virtual sandbox into a winter wonderland.

In other words, you’ll bring a massive snow day to Liberty City.

Rooftops, windowsills, roads, and trees are all covered in snow – which you can even pick up and throw at NPCs!

It’s great for some winter fun, or just to give GTA IV an entirely different atmosphere.

22. GTA IV For Extremely Low-End PC

Nowadays it’s unlikely your computer has trouble running the 12-years-old GTA IV.

Still, I know for a fact there are some people out there struggling with toasters running Windows XP – and I’m determined to lend a hand.

This incredible mod by Cody5699 attempts to make the game much lighter by disabling several graphical features, such as explosion FX, car FX, particles, and basically anything you don’t explicitly need to make your way through the game.

Sure, the colors are washed-out. And you can’t see past a couple of meters ahead.

But it sure beats not being able to play at all!

21. Dual Wielding Style

If there’s something that fits Niko Bellic’s background as a war veteran and occasional criminal, it’s dual-wielding military-grade weapons.

Made by JulioNIB, the Dual Wielding Style mod allows Niko to hold and fire two guns at once with pretty natural-looking animations.

This applies to shotguns, handguns, SMGs, and anything shorter than a sniper rifle.

It also includes an optional “headshot” feature that’ll let you watch all headshot kills in a zoomed-in slow-motion view, similar to what you’d see in Sniper Elite (minus the X-RAYs).

20. HQ GTA V Weapon Pack

Speaking of weaponry, have you ever felt like you don’t have enough guns in GTA IV?

GTAGarage.com » GGMM

If so, get this HQ GTA V Weapon Pack.

It takes a truckload of weapons from the GTA5 world and puts them in Niko Bellic’s badass hands.

The Assault Rifle, Carbine Rifle, Double Barrel Shotgun, and Micro SMG are only some of the fantastic guns included in this pack.

Considering they’re technically from the future, they’ll give you the advantage over your enemies in Liberty City.

And if you like these you can get more from the mod’s continuation.

19. 4K Ultra HD Graphics

Few things will make your GTA IV screenshots look as photorealistic as this 4K Ultra HD Graphics mod.

While it does apply a special ENB preset, most of what this mod does is replace textures in the game for hyper-detailed 4K ones.

The result?

Spaces that look real at a glance, but slowly fall into the uncanny valley as you continue to detail them.

The only thing stopping me from giving this mod a higher spot on my ranking is how ridiculously taxing it can be on some systems.

The graphical upgrade is only worth the performance cost if you’re running a monster PC that can take it.

18. Spiderman IV

Before there was Marvel’s Spider-Man, we had to make do with what we had.

One of the best options to enjoy life as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is JulioNIB’s Spiderman IV mod, which will let you swing around pseudo-Manhattan as Spider-Man with incredibly well-made animations.

It’ll even give you a Spider-Sense, which will warn you of nearby dangers like shootouts between gangs and the police.

If you like this mod, you should try to acquire Marvel’s Spider-Man when you get a chance. That game is too good to miss. Arguably one of the better Spider-Man games ever made.

17. Death Race IV

The best thing to come out of Paul W.S. Anderson’s 2008 Death Race movie was probably the inspiration for this incredible mod.

Death Race IV brings a bunch of features based on the film into GTA IV, including heavily-armored and weaponized cars.

You also have the possibility of creating races around Liberty City.

The project was stopped in its tracks early in its development when modders realized how many custom objects they would need to make to complete it.

That said, what they had already made is still enough to keep you entertained for a pretty long while.

16. GTA IV: San Andreas

Another incredible mod whose life was cut short before it could take off is GTA IV: San Andreas, which aimed at porting the entirety of San Andreas into GTA IV’s RAGE engine.

Creator Blaster_nl was able to port the entire map, some vehicles, weapons, and even the main character from San Andreas – although the Niko Bellic voice clips are still in place.

It even includes a Snow Edition, which turns San Andreas a wintery white.

Despite being incomplete, it’s fully functional.

And the progress made is still worth a look.

15. Ultimate Textures

One of the most important things you need to improve if you want a more realistic and appealing GTA experience is the roads.

You’ll spend a sizable amount of time either running or driving over them.

The Ultimate Textures mod by Realizm IV Team replaces several textures all around Liberty City, but the best improvement is made to asphalt and road textures that look intricately detailed.

Almost lifelike.

It makes no sense having a hi-poly custom super-car, when the road looks like it belongs in Sonic Adventure: Battle 2.

14. Selfie Mod

If you’re putting so much work into beautifying your game, you’re going to need a way to document it.

While regular-old screenshots certainly get the work done, nothing is quite as immersive as the surprisingly fun activity of taking in-game selfies.

Now you can do so in GTA IV thanks to modder JulioNIB.

Unlike GTA V, this selfie camera won’t let you browse your pictures in-game.

But they’ll be saved to a folder on your PC so you can comfortably check them out later.

It even works in cars and several other places you wouldn’t expect it to, so don’t be afraid to try it out.

13. New Weapons

Over time, gamers have become used to massive collections of highly-detailed guns – even when the difference between them in functionality is minimal.

A great way to improve GTA IV’s “fun factor” and make it feel more up-to-date is by introducing new firearms.

How do we do this? Well, hrough mods like Quechus13’s New Weapons.

Now you’ll have access to more assault rifles, SMGs, grenade launchers, and even shotguns with new attachments.

There’s even a shiny new bat for you to bash in some skulls in style.

And don’t even get me started on the FN P90…

12. Grim’s Weapon Pack

But if you really want to beef up your weapon arsenal to the point where you never have to worry about it again, you should get Grim’s Weapon Pack.

This fantastic weapon compilation was originally made for San Andreas, then updated and upgraded for use in GTA IV.

While the models are all high-quality and very appealing, it’s stuff like the custom HUD icons and special attachments like the flashlight for the MP5A4 that make these weapons feel professional.

11. LCPD First Response

It’s hard to avoid interaction with Liberty City’s Police Department when you’re one of the biggest criminals in the area.

This mod won’t make it any easier to avoid the police.

But it will make it much more engaging by introducing a realistic arrest system.

Now you’ll have to be reported and identified before the police send any forces after you.

You’ll also run into the police making arrests and the like throughout the city much more often while running this mod, making Liberty City feel slightly more active and alive.

10. GTA Environment Mod

One of the most popular mods to improve the game’s look is the GTA Environment Mod created by Kriller2.

It focuses on providing more natural lighting, and making the game’s climate more realistic.

All weather types were manually tweaked one-by-one to work with better shadow calculations, and more sophisticated reflective surfaces.

All water reflections are improved as well.

What do I like best about this mod? Looking up at the sky and find gorgeous HD cloud textures staring back down at me.

9. Ultimate Graphic Tweak

The Environment Mod is recommended to work with the Ultimate Graphic Tweak by modder Bartekxyz to maximize your game’s visual appeal.

This fantastic mod adds several post-processing effects to GTA IV’s graphics, including a greater depth of field and motion blur.

The mod also gets rid of low-quality dotted shadows in favor of smoother, more realistic-looking ones.

Sure, it’ll have a sizable performance cost.

But nowadays most gaming rigs should take it just fine. Even if you do need to sacrifice some FPS, you won’t regret it.

8. Realistic Driving & Flying

Creator Killatomate is obsessed with realistic handling in his games.

Which is why he made massive handling improvements for both GTA IV, and more recently GTA V.

Killatomate addressed each of the 170 vehicles present in Liberty City individually.

He gave them each a custom center of mass, plus other variables that interact with the game’s physics, to create more coherent handling.

I can’t say I’m going to be doing anything “realistic” while driving in GTA IV anytime soon.

Still, driving definitely feels better with this mod installed.

7. Excellent ENB Graphics

A recently-created option for embellishing the streets of Liberty City is AP84’s Excellent ENB Graphics mod, released in 2018.

It’s actually a full rework of a previously-released ENB preset, created by AP84 after months of work and testing within his own game.

While it improves visuals in several aspects, my favorite part about this ENB is how bright and colorful it makes Liberty City look.

It’s almost like playing in GTA V’s Los Santos!

6. GTA 4 Beautification Project – Graphical Overhaul

Variety is the spice of life.

And I’m committed to giving you as many options to beautify your game as possible.

One of the best options you have if you’re aiming at a cohesively good-looking game is to follow Tore Andersen’s GTA 4 Beautification Project guide towards prettying-up your GTA IV.

Among the most essential parts of the guide are steps for installing this Graphical Overhaul for more natural lighting, and some other rendering tweaks to boot.

5. V Style Char Switch (and more)

Let’s take a break from visual enhancements and consider one of the most significant gameplay improvements ever made to GTA IV.

V Style Char Switch is part of a family of mods by JulioNIB aimed at bringing the best parts of GTA V to GTA IV.

This specific mod lets you switch between characters like you can in GTA V.

It also provides a practical weapon selection add-on to your HUD, among other minor things. It really re-does the game in a massive way, and it’s absolutely worth trying out.

4. VIVA New York

After so many awesome games in Liberty City, most GTA fans have grown to love the New York-inspired metropolis as a second home.

A great way to make Liberty City feel fresh is Emble’s VIVA New York mod.

It replaces several key aspects of the city to make it appear more like its real-life inspiration.

This includes replacing the Star Junction for Times Square, changing street names, and rebranding the public transportation system to mimic New York’s.

3. iCEnhancer

The most endorsed and famous graphics overhaul for GTA IV has to be Hayssam Keilany’s iCEnhancer, bringing countless improvements to make this game shine.

The iCEnhancer was made by iceLaGlace by combining better textures and improved models with a custom ReShade and an ENB preset.

The result is a game that only vaguely resembles vanilla GTA IV.

And it may even look better than vanilla GTA V.

2. Realism Project Mod Pack for GTA IV

If what you’re looking for is to make GTA IV feel as lifelike as possible, look no further than KCPRR’s Realism Project Mod Pack.

Rather than a mod in and of itself, this is a selection of mods chosen and edited by KCPRR, while making the game more realistic and challenging for himself over the course of 500 hours of playtime.

Those are 500 hours you don’t have to spend modding the game yourself.

So I’d say this is a pretty sweet deal.

1. American Sleep

The first spot in our ranking goes not to a single mod. But to a compilation of add-ons that come packaged together to tell a story.

American Sleep picks up right after GTA IV.

Niko has burned through all the cash he made during the main campaign and is now nearly destitute (as shown by your empty modded-in bank account).

This is especially troublesome considering you now have Basic Needs like eating and staying hydrated.

You’ll have to learn how to exploit the most bizarre vanilla and modded-in mechanics to survive poverty in Liberty City and climb back to the top.

If you really just need more to do in GTA IV to keep yourself entertained, this is a must-have mod. Nothing else quite like it.
